Gone, gone, gone Betcha didn't know I'd be gone For so long Betcha didn't know I'd done wrong And all the cherry blossoms were swirling round your head And soon your pretty blue eyes were red Burn, oh burn You watched your little playhouse burn Oh, how you learn When the wheel of your misfortune turns And all the smoke and ashes were swirling round your head And soon your pretty blue eyes were red Oh, so red And you think you must be dying from all those tears you bled
Oh, so red Cold, so cold So soon the summer wind turned so cold Now you know That everything that shines sure ain't gold And all the autumn leaves were swirling round your head Blown like goodbye kisses so red Oh, so red And you think you must be dying from all those tears you bled And you think you must be dying for your heart's so sore and red And I think you must be dying to see my cold, cold blood run red Oh, so red
